Abstract (en)
[origin: US2015192971A1] A system includes a high performance but very compact computer processing module and an associated docking station. The module includes a processor that is contained within an outer housing. The outer housing defines a heat transmission surface that is thermally coupled to the processor and other heat generating components in the module. The docking station includes a receiving portion for receiving a portion of the outer housing of the module. The docking station also includes a thermally conductive substrate defining a heat receiving surface which aligns with the heat transmission surface when the module is installed to the receiving portion. An array of conductive fibers thermally couples the heat transmitting surface to the heat receiving surface. This forms a dry low pressure thermal coupling interface with high reliability with repeated thermal coupling and decoupling. This is advantageous relative to traditional semi liquid or liquid thermal compounds or compliant thermal pads which require high pressure coupling or unreliable repetitive thermal coupling and decoupling. The high performance computing processor is detached from heatsink and fan, and hence is compact enough to enable a person to carry a high performance computer in their pocket.
